Jay Rockefeller
editCan anyone explain how he and Jay Rockefeller are brothers-in-law? The article says Dayton is not married. . . so he's not married to Rockefeller's sister or anything like that. The Rockefeller article says that his wife is Sharon Percy, the daughter of former US Senator Charles Percy. Doesn't seem like she and Dayton would be siblings. TMS63112 17:54, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
- Dayton's ex-wife, Alida Rockefeller Messinger, is Jay Rockefeller's sister. There probably should be some mention of her in the article. -- Jake 23:57, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification. I have updated the article accordingly. TMS63112 01:09, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Infoboxes
editIt is important to state the current state of events, not what will happen soon. As such, the Senator is still in office, and has not been succeeded yet. Stealthound 20:58, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Somebody should explain how he managed to not be drafted after graduating from college when he did. A Democrat has to do this editing because, if a moderate or conservative does any editing, that would be called vandalism and instantly reverted. But some Democrat can look into this. It is an important part of Dayton's background. Perhaps he was even deferred as a teacher? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.233.118 (talk) 17:11, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
Please consult this source, (Wikipedia is not a Crystal Ball) before changing the "Succeeded by" sections of the article. This is the official position of wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, predicting what will happen in the future. As the Senator is still in office, the article should be left as it is. Thank you, Stealthound 08:24, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Political party
editI'm not sure about the rules about this, so I'll just say where I perceive an error and allow someone else to make the change:
The sidebar lists Dayton as belonging to the Democratic Party, but that's not quite correct. His party is the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, which is *affiliated* with the Democratic Party. Shouldn't that be what's listed?
63.225.137.32 (talk) 18:15, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
- In Minnesota, the Democratic Party and the DFL are one and the same. If you believe it would improve the article to make the edit, please do so. Jonathunder (talk) 13:27, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
